JUNEAU -- The Juneau Assembly has voted to accept the donation of almost 36 acres of private property on Douglas Island.
The Southeast Alaska Land Trust intends to buy the land from a private landowner with part of the $6 million that Juneau International Airport is paying in wetlands mitigation for airport projects.
If the sale is completed, the trust will donate the property to the city for use as a park.
The land was part of the Tongass National Forest until John F. McDonald homesteaded it in 1923. It has two salmon spawning streams and nearby Hilda Cove is known as a popular recreation spot.
